Positive Energy

Wednesday, October 12, 2005

We complain, we badger, we moan and groan. We go on and on about the problem... about what's wrong... about what we dislike... Yes, complaining is a natural way that many of us may do it some of the time to express a feeling of being unjustified, dissatisfied and a need to change something.


A lot of us (don't ask myself) complain about our job that we don't like it, we're underpaid, under appreciated, overworked, etc. etc. Or we complain about our friends and families... or our neighbors... or our government... Don't you see, there is so much to complain about. Are you aware that complaining over and over is not healthy to your mind and to your physical body either, especially when you show the expression of anger (evil look shall I call) to anyone who would be the subject to angry with? It actually makes people angrier, too, even though they are not the root of the problem you are angry for.




I learn one lesson how we control ourselves to looking into our problem from different way. It's called mind-shift. Basically mind-shift is to find a positive light from your problem and it is a right way or a next action to move on from your complaining steps. Or you might call it as a process to change a negative issue to be a positive energy. For example: your boss asks you to work overtime. Negative light is you feel bothered not getting rest enough at home. Positive light is you feel gratitude that your boss respects your good work and trusts you more than anybody else at work. Don't forget, a good performance shall yield a good reward! See, in that way you would feel much better I hope.


Again, what do we need to do in dealing with complain is:
1) learn to accept 2) make a difference by mind-shift.


End up with the Serenity prayer here is the best solution too:

Lord grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the Courage to change the things I can;
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

(inspired by someone who just complained today, and the writing by Marie T. Russell)
